Almost nothing can stop the old Fiat 903 cc engine... And the fact that you still can drive a Panda in that condition, says a lot to the strenght of the car.
Here in Italy, the old Panda has the reputation to be mules. There still a lot around, expecially of the ones made after the 1986. As they are reliable, easy and cheap to fix. And the 4x4 still have quite a good evaluation (nothing less than 5000€) for cars which are not meant to be kept in the garage, but to be used on mountains, on muletracks, as a working tool. And it does a better job than most of bigger 4x4 of any era.

Poor little Panda. Not surprised at its condition after 17 years in a bush but she still fired up and ran, just very grumpily. 😂 A shame it’s almost certainly done for with all that rust, early ‘80-‘85 Pandas are nearly completely gone now.
@@cerrystyle Oh I believe you that they are still more common in Italy, I meant here in Britain they are no longer seen anymore. Glad to hear they’re still around in Italy though. 👍
This car is already a legend, I always liked its shape and especially when it was in 4x4, this small car is very good, for obstacles, already because it is compact and it fit almost everywhere, it's a shame that there aren't so many of them anymore, otherwise great video as always 😁
This is a Panda 45 first type 1980/84. In Italy it is a legend, I love this car (I have a Panda 30). It's nearly impossible to find one of them, now, in decent condition, because of rust, the main issue of these Panda first type. Dear Flexiny, I hope you save the engine of this Panda... And other good parts. These Panda are very different from Panda built after 1985 and original body and interior spare parts are very expensive and difficult to find. Greetings from Italy. I love all your videos. Giuseppe
Incredible, this Fiat abandoned all these years works easily in a few attempts, proving that he is a warrior-killer, congratulations on reviving him....💯💯💯
Poor Fiat Panda. I feel sorry for this car that the owners neglected it so much. I have never seen this car model and there are probably very few of them in the world. But despite how bad the sheet metal and the whole chassis are, this little car still has the will to fight and drives. Simply amazing. It's nice that you washed it and you could imagine a little what it used to look like. To bring it back to the road condition, you need a lot of welding and all the art, if not the replacement of individual elements. Is beautiful. If someone made it and lowered it on larger rims, it would be just a miracle on wheels. What are you going to do with it? Thanks for helping this car 🤍

I've been waiting to see this little guy since I spotted him in another video. I was not surprised he fired up easily, and the body hasn't completely dissolved. No surprise the electrics don't work either. 😄 I had a 1987 mk2 pamda with the FIRE engine. I've always loved these little cars. Great work.😊
Love it, literally falling apart as you drove it yet not giving up. Love the Mk1. I just picked up one of the last 4x4 Panda Cross models being sent to the UK. Always loved its Twinair 2 cylinder
I believe that there’s almost no car which is beyond restoration! It is only a question of how dear is it to your heart ; how much money are you willing to spend on it?!

Tutto il denaro del mondo non vale quanto questo PANDINO. Io il mio PANDINO 900 lo tengo come un gingillo. Da quando me l'ha dato l'amico mio ho speso un bel po' per rimetterlo a posto ma adesso è rinato. Quindi con un po' di buona volontà si può fare molto anche per questa macchina. Un abbraccio a tutti
Another great video, especially liked this one because I had one exactly like this 25 years ago, those fire engines were absolutely great little units, but the body is no surprise!
@@predragv.365 945cc, on Panda. The strange thing, is the double-body carburettor with automatic choke.....on Pandas was available only single body with manual choke

I have the same engine in my first car a long long ago. a fiat 850. give it only a bit of love and it never let you down. This poor Panda still have a happy Healthy soul inside
I had exactly this model, in Italy was very popular but had "luxury" seats: Panda 45s. Still sold in better conditions after 10 y that sat outside, but in Italy there were less rust.
unbelievable: a little service on fuellines and ignition, this cute little Panda fires up as it would run the last time 3 days ago =). even idle is ok, wow. carburated cars aren't as bad as often said. the moment you lost the exhaust i was laughin' heartily, but it's a miracle that the body didn't collapse in this condition. opening the right door could tear this poor thing apart i thought. when you're pressurewashing the Panda i was afraid that you could blast holes in the sheet-metal, but after finishing the washing i felt somehow lucky. as always: a great vid, flexiny, no unnecessary words, only useful informations and a good, solid work. after my hard and disappointing day this vid makes me calm and smilin' =)
I thought this panda will be extinct after the pressure washer. No stuck alternator, clutch is fine, etc. So many things that could go wrong did not. Amazing, thanks.
I feel sorry for this little Fiat after seeing where it had been left to sink into the ground for nearly two decades, and the rust damage it suffered as a result. 😢 But I truly admire its heart and spirit for its willingness to run and drive once again regardless of the condition it is in! ♥It definitely deserved a far better fate than the people who abandoned it in a field like that. 😢
weird, here in italy we don't hear people that say that they rus a lot, we just hear people saying how good they are and how they're pretty much unstoppable
@@AnItalianGuyOnYT It depends on what they use to defrost the roads. In my country they use salt so many cars suffer from rust and after winter ends you can see these cars in body shops to get the rust removed.
One of the earliest pandas with off set slat grill and it had the little 903cc indestructible fire engines but poor little thing that floor pan wow thought the body and chassis were separated. Awsome video flexiny shame the panda couldn't be saved but she's to far gone I'd expect.
I couldn't help but laugh when you opened the bonnet (hood in the US) and the reinforcement just stayed in place. Reminded of that episode of Top Gear when they did British Leyland cars, one of the presenters opened the car door and the whole door card remained in place! 🤣
Dear Sirs, thankyou so much for a wonderful video - it was great to see the Panda enjoy one last adventure! What an amazing car! The parts from this MK1 (1979 - 1985) are now very rare, it would be wonderful if you could help other Panda enthusiasts when you have finished with the vehicle. Keep up the great work, hopefully you can find another Panda very soon! Thankyou. P.s the red dots on the speedometer are to tell the driver the optimum revs at which to change gear.
I have an early one, never kept in a garage and has no rust at all, it has over 300.000km and still works nicely. They're quite good for what they are...
You must be living in a warm, southern country, i guess... I have a late 1st generation Panda from 1986 in great condition and those are very rare in germany, where i live. Most of them rusted away after a few years...
@@riejurv50 Mine was built in spain aswell and it's a Fiat. Before i had two Seat Marbella and was looking for another one. But i found the Fiat and it was so good in condition, i had to buy it.... 😅
How wonderful to see a resurrected panda! In 1978, Fiat arrived in Brazil and brought this engine to equip the first Brazilian Fiat, called the Fiat 147. It sold a lot, a lot and the following year it was also found, running on ethanol, gaining a reputation for being very durable and economical and There are some still running today, register! Big hug, Rio de Janeiro!
Im amazed how good the bodywork is after all that time. I just got my Dads old car back which has stood 10-15 years. Got her running, next is new tyres n check brakes.
I had a 1986 upgrade Fiat Panda 1000CL with the 999cc FIRE engine and I loved the little car. It was the only car I've ever own that never failed a MOT. The biggest drawback was rust on the door panels, and I replaced every panel while I had it including the bonnet and tailgate! Another major irritant was the clutch cables tended to brake so I always carried a spare. The cables were however easily replaced even at the roadside in about 20minutes! The non servo brakes were also a issue the pads had to be replaced frequently(at around half worn) but again were easy to work on. It was a nippy little car that was cheap but cheerful, fun to drive, looked nice and had excellent fuel economy, but the seats were a bit uncomfortable in long journeys.
Flat panda sitting there for 17 years poor vehicle needs loving pull out of vehicle as possible and work on it battery full detail inside and out awesome video friend best mechanic in the world keep bringing new videos

@@ramonllobetpla4033 En España, el Seat Panda motor 903cc de 45cv, nunca montó carburador doble cuerpo. Todos tenían un mono cuerpo. Los únicos que lo montaron fueron los Seat 127 motor 1010cc de 52cv de potencia.
Hai ragione. In Italia solo le versioni 982cc e 1050cc ABARTH montavano il carburatore doppio corpo. In Spagna solo il SEAT 1010cc, che per altro aveva pure la cinghia dentata al posto della catena di distribuzione....
Another great warrior brought to life again. Its a shame the amount of rust that it has, but as a project car if you can weld, it can be a good car if is well mantained and rust-proofed. Here in Spain still are a lot of units, its not rare to see one almost every day (the SEAT Panda/Marbella version, although are some FIAT too), and the 4x4 version is very well appreciated, especially for rural areas and mountains. Also has in Spain a van version, called SEAT Trans or SEAT Terra with cargo cabin that is not rare to see too.

You must be living in a warm, southern country, i guess... I have a late 1st generation Panda from 1986 in great condition and those are very rare in germany, where i live. Most of them rusted away after a few years...
In Spain, where they were built by Seat, mine's a rebadged Fiat as is an early one, i've got other very rusty cars, but not this one...
@@riejurv50 Mine was built in spain aswell and it's a Fiat. Before i had two Seat Marbella and was looking for another one. But i found the Fiat and it was so good in condition, i had to buy it.... 😅
@@___Steinn___ ow man just dont look under the doors
@@xabussas1362 I did. They are surprisingly good! 😅🤞
Just getting to it was half the battle! Love your videos!
How wonderful to see a resurrected panda!
In 1978, Fiat arrived in Brazil and brought this engine to equip the first Brazilian Fiat, called the Fiat 147. It sold a lot, a lot and the following year it was also found, running on ethanol, gaining a reputation for being very durable and economical and There are some still running today, register! Big hug, Rio de Janeiro!
Під капотом чистіше, ніж в машині
Das Panda!!!!
Si accende sempre 😂.in Italia è un 'istituzione, patrimonio dell'umanità
Many things can be done for a classic, but the best thing is to save it from oblivion. Thanks for this 👍🇦🇷
Good job! Great sound of the engine of this Panda 45! We had one of these a long time ago.
Panda 45 with double body carburetor? Eheheh
Otimo vídeo como sempre!!! Fiat Panda 🐼 aí, ja aque no Brsil é Fiat uno e com escadas
Mon oncle en avait une en bleu, elle était belle et j'aimais bien cette voiture. Que de souvenirs 🚙
Wow. I remember my teacher in junior high back in the '80s and '90s discussing buying these Pandas
In Italy this model of panda calls too “pandino”
Un rescate precioso, buen trabajo 👍🏻
Молодцы ребята. Молча, с толком, и знанием дела.
Im amazed how good the bodywork is after all that time. I just got my Dads old car back which has stood 10-15 years. Got her running, next is new tyres n check brakes.
I had a 1986 upgrade Fiat Panda 1000CL with the 999cc FIRE engine and I loved the little car. It was the only car I've ever own that never failed a MOT. The biggest drawback was rust on the door panels, and I replaced every panel while I had it including the bonnet and tailgate! Another major irritant was the clutch cables tended to brake so I always carried a spare. The cables were however easily replaced even at the roadside in about 20minutes! The non servo brakes were also a issue the pads had to be replaced frequently(at around half worn) but again were easy to work on.
It was a nippy little car that was cheap but cheerful, fun to drive, looked nice and had excellent fuel economy, but the seats were a bit uncomfortable in long journeys.
I had a 4x4 example 1988 to 1992 it was a very capable little car and I loved it. Economical and reliable.
fire panda 30 engine never die
Watching that car get cleaned was the most satisfying video on CZcams! 😲
Flat panda sitting there for 17 years poor vehicle needs loving pull out of vehicle as possible and work on it battery full detail inside and out awesome video friend best mechanic in the world keep bringing new videos
Absolute legend

It's 3:51 am here lol. Awesome video and cute panda! I wish we had Pandas in Brazil, very cool car, specially in its awd model. Great video!
Your videos in their simplicity are very beautiful and give me a good feeling that I have not seen anywhere else, and your skill is very pleasant and calm and overall excellent my friend.. 🙏😎✌️

Beautiful car. It’s the first Serie. Please bring it back to Life. ❤
This car is dead man.

don't know how you do it flexiny but you manage to run this after so long sitting hats off to you
Im pretty stunned that theres any car left as the fiats of this era were mega mega rust buckets. Great to see though, very nostalgic 😊
Like digging up grandma - and after so many years in the ground still gets up and walks!
A car that is like a tank, infact in Italy we call Panda also "Pandarmato"
Increible que en ese estado funcione. El motor no parece el original 903. Al menos la culata y el carburador de doble cuerpo.
Si que es original. Lo que pasa es que es de los ultimos modelos.
@@ramonllobetpla4033 En España, el Seat Panda motor 903cc de 45cv, nunca montó carburador doble cuerpo. Todos tenían un mono cuerpo.
Los únicos que lo montaron fueron los Seat 127 motor 1010cc de 52cv de potencia.
Hai ragione. In Italia solo le versioni 982cc e 1050cc ABARTH montavano il carburatore doppio corpo. In Spagna solo il SEAT 1010cc, che per altro aveva pure la cinghia dentata al posto della catena di distribuzione....
I am happy to see that this Panda works again
Another great warrior brought to life again. Its a shame the amount of rust that it has, but as a project car if you can weld, it can be a good car if is well mantained and rust-proofed. Here in Spain still are a lot of units, its not rare to see one almost every day (the SEAT Panda/Marbella version, although are some FIAT too), and the 4x4 version is very well appreciated, especially for rural areas and mountains. Also has in Spain a van version, called SEAT Trans or SEAT Terra with cargo cabin that is not rare to see too.
Upgrade as BEV is the cars can continued their life
Another great video flexiny I would never have thought in a million years that you would have got it going and driving ❤ you done it again 😂do ya think it will pass a mot 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Thanks! It will never pass mot in this condition without any brakes and there is alot rust holes :D
Una panda ripartirebbe pure dopo 30 anni in fondo a un fiume! Che macchina ❤ gran bel video!
Love your videos… each one u know what’s coming but it’s still a good feeling once they fire up 😄
We Italians say that the fiat panda is the most durable car ever and this shows
FIAT, LANCIA an AR were create a lot of exellent cars, but most of them undeservedly forgotten. For example: did you ever seen the FIAT Palio Mk.2 hatcback with the brasilian engine? )
@@ttl3000 i know that one but i never saw it in person
@@celesterossi733 I owns one with the 1300 engine ) It is like Uno stage 2
Damn video so good
I loved my MK1 panda 45CL. That 903cc engine was unstoppable 😊 Never got twin barrel carburettors and automatic chokes in the UK 😮
Great video,. One of the problems with the Fiat brand is rust. But this car after a long time and it is abandoned is very bad. Though the engine still works. Sincere greetings to you video maker. I am following you from Algeria 🇩🇿
Fiat motors are like highlander .... never die
Многие части вижу от жигули фиат( педали, пробка радиатора, тяга к арбюртора и т. П. ) ребята молодцы!!!
Certamente amico,
Le auto VAZ erano derivate Fiat. È normale trovare pezzi uguali tra i vari modelli, sia italiani che costruiti in altri Paesi😊😊
Lo stabilimento "Togliatti" lo costruì la Fiat, la Lada vaz Žiguli era sostanzialmente una Fiat 124, molti altri modelli montavano pezzi e motori fiat
Не бросайте бедолагу . Столько лет выстоять и в таком состоянии ещё работать говорит о том , что машина хочет жить. Надеюсь вы её приведёте в порядок и заберёте себе ❤
Хорошая работа ребята
Impressive how you put it to running and driving bare bones. Hilarious that dragging exhaust.
Ok this one looks awesome.... I would never wash the exterior 😆👍
Probably not a wise move washing the car, that moss looked like it was structural... :P
This is probably the most extreme savage ever! Kudos!
I have got a 1986 4x4 with 350.000 km on the clock and still going strong. unstoppable
Молодцы я за вас переживаю дело хорошее
Panda 💪🇮🇹
